Sentimental Park with Country Gingham DSP card swap

January 9, 2023

I always join a bunch of online swaps with each new catalog. It's so much easier to make a bunch of one card than it is to make one of several different cards for my display boards.

Here's one I made with the Sentimental Park bundle seen here.

Save

I chose to use the Country Gingham 6 X 6" designer paper pack; it has multiple gingham patterns in just a few colors. I added White & Blushing Bride to it.

Notice that pretty white die-cut for the greeting; it has attached floral design on opposing corners for some pretty detail. There are two sizes of this type of die in this bundle and one without the side details. This one fits inside the largest one; the floral detail has slits on the inside to allow the smooth die-cut to fit right in!

Save

The Blushing Bride oval is from the Framed Florets dies. The pretty texture on the White banner is done with the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder seen here; also new in the Spring catalog.

Save

My measurements are simple:

Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
DSP 2" X 4"
White banner strip 1 1/4" X 5"

Notice the alternate print I used on some of the swaps below; I love having a few choices in similar patterns.

I'll share some photos of my new catalog party from Saturday later this week. Stop back in!

Masterfully Made & Wanted to Say quick card ideas with video tips

June 26, 2023

And our annual Stampin' Sale is done! Each June my customers and I host a paper crafting sale – this year we had 30 sellers and we had a fabulous turnout!

Save

That photo was just the stamps for sale; we had so much more! I wish you could be here for it, but I know it is a long way for some to Minot, ND. But if you're near me, plan for the weekend after Father's Day. Make a road trip if you can.
We had one person come from St. Louis and another who was in town visiting from Peru! They were so glad to be here for this annual event.

~~~

Last week I shared three card ideas featuring three products: Masterfully Made designer series paper, Wanted to Say dies and Border Basics dies. Here's one of them:

Save

The Masterfully Made designer paper features a torn edge look to a few of the sheets. I chose this one because of it's beautiful colors. I added Berry Burst, Fresh Freesia and Azure Afternoon in the die-cuts from the Wanted to Say dies. This set of dies has a detailed and a layered die for each set of words in the set, plus a bunch of other dies like the flowers I used here. You can see them here.

Save

The angled border on the White card base is die-cut with the Basic Borders dies seen here. I love these and use them often. You can see them here. I saved the piece I die-cut and used it on another card. Here are both of the cards I made, using two different sheets of the Masterfully Made DSP.

Save

You can see this beautiful designer paper here. It's discounted in June; down to $10.62.

As you can see, there is no stamping on the front. But I did add a greeting to the inside:
